Walkthrough - End Of Game Questions

The end of assassins creed goes pretty crazy with all that writing on the floor, but here
are some question's answers:
Q. Who is Subject Seventeen?
A. That would be you, Desmond.
Q. Is Desmond actually Altair?
A. No, Desmond is a descendent of Altair, and by using the Animus he's able to locate
Altair's memories that are hidden in his DNA. This means that Altair had at least one
child after the events of Assassin's Creed - otherwise Desmond would not have Altair's
memories locked away inside him.
Q. What's all this writing about?
A. The room's previous occupant, Subject Sixteen, left all of the writing that you can see
for Desmond to read.

Q. Okay, so why can I not see it until the end of the game?
A. Abstergo washed the messages off of the walls and the floor, but Desmond is able to
spot the messages by using his Eagle Vision.
Q. Wait a second. You said that Desmond wasn't Altair! What gives?
A. He's not, at least, not yet... Read through Vidic's emails and you'll stumble across
one that mentions 'The Bleeding Effect.' Vidic reports that, after using the Animus for a
given length of time, some previous subjects were unable to distinguish between their
ancestors' lives and their own. Their genetic and real-time memories have literally 'bled'
into one another, which is why Desmond is able to use the Eagle Vision power at the end of
the game.
Q. Why only the one power?
A. Be patient! Assassin's Creed is the first part of a trilogy. By the end of the third
game Desmond will have a lot more moves to play with...
Q. Who are Abstergo?
A. Modern Templars. Abstergo are a company intent on world domination. Their 'aim' is for
world peace, but the methods with which they wish to achieve this can be considered mad.
They think that by controlling mankind, and killing those that aren't influenced by their
power, they can achieve peace. Even their name betrays this secret: it's Latin for
'cleanse'.
Q. Who is Lucy?
A. Lucy Stillman is an employee of Abstergo, but is actually an undercover operative
working with the Assassins. She is the one that passes on the door code to Desmond, and is
trying to delay the project. In a series of emails to a person known only as '??' she asks
for aid. The final message is coded, but reads, "We will be there soon." Vidic has his
suspicions of Lucy. Alan Rikkin sent him an email regarding the fluoride leak: "Makes me
wonder if the fluoride leak was internal after all... And if it was, are we dealing with a
whistle blower or something worse?" It's highly reasonable to assume that Lucy was this
leak.
Mural
Q. Back to the writing. What does the triangle of text say?
A. "They drained my soul and made it theirs. I drained my body to show you where I saw
it." Subject sixteen wrote this, along with all of the other messages, in his blood. The
first part refers to Abstergo stealing his soul, or in reality, his memories. They watched
his ancestor's life to locate an important artefact, hence 16's belief that his 'soul' was
taken. The second part is more literal. 16 drained his body to show you where he saw it,
meaning that he used his own blood to leave you clues as to where the artefact lies. What
artefact is he talking about? There's a strong chance it could be the Holy Grail. We'll
look at some evidence later on that suggests this is the case.
Q. What does the block of writing say?
A. "Artefacts sent to the skies to control all nation, to make us obey a hidden crusade.
Do not help them." This message refers directly to Abstergo's plan should they (and they
will) get hold of the artefact that you're being used to locate. They plan to send it into
space and attach it to a low orbit transmitter to brainwash mankind. In the final battle
Altair discovers just what the artefact, the Third Piece of Eden, is capable of. It can
make people believe anything, and was responsible for many Biblical illusions such as the
parting of the Red Sea (in 'reality' it did not happen - the artefact simply made people
think that it did). Subject Sixteen is well aware of Abstergo's plans and asks you not to
help them.
Q. What does 12212012 mean?
A. It may be easier if we call it 21122012, for this number's a date. Specifically, 21
December 2012. It's a hugely important date, for it marks the 'end of the world as we know
it'. The ancient Mayan civilisations used the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar
(incidentally, we use the Gregorian calendar), and a significant event is supposed to take
place. In Assassin's Creed this event is obvious, and it also tells us when the game takes
place.
Square words
Reading through Vidic's emails you'll see that Abstergo must 'launch' on 21 December. It
is safe, then, to say that the 'present day' antics take place in September 2012, and that
Abstergo wish to launch the satellite on 21/12/2012 to begin the new era in control of
mankind.
Q. What about 13.0.0.0.0?
A. This refers to 21/12/2012 again. To be more precise, it is the date written in long
count form and marks the beginning of the thirteenth Baktun.
Q. What is the significance of the animal pictures?
A. There are three animals pictures: a hummingbird, a spider and a monkey. All three
pictures are drawings of the famous Nazca lines - a series of lines in Peru that, when
viewed from above, reveal giant animals. It's probable that the area is home to another
ancient artefact, or if not the pictures reveal the location of one.
Q. What are the pyramids about?
A. The step pyramids are a common symbol of Mayan architecture. The Mitchell-Hedges skull
was found inside a Mayan temple, and there are more artefacts locked away within the
ruins.
Q. What is Yonaguni?
A. Yonaguni is the westernmost island in Japan, and a likely setting for the next game (or
at least part of it). It is widely believed that an ancient and advanced civilisation once
lived on Yonaguni, and that they suffered a similar fate to Atlantis' people. Buildings
found submerged around Yonaguni predate any other known buildings in the world, so expect
any Japanese ancestor tales to take place before Assassin's Creed 1.
Q. What is 22:13?
A. Revelations 22:13. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning
and the End." There are also a few alphas and omegas scrawled on the giant mural.
Triangle words
Q. What's the eye in the triangle about?
A. Yet another reference to a God. It's a Christian version of the Eye of Providence - the
eye of God. The triangle emphasises the Trinity. It's strange that among all the religions
and beliefs there are some strong Christian vibes - strange because the game keeps sewing
seeds that hint it's a lie.
During the game it's mentioned that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God and that it's a
fabrication. The final email also mentions that artefacts related to Christ are probably
fictional. And yet we have a couple of Christian symbols and a massively powerful New
Testament verse that suggests maybe the opposite is true. Maybe the Piece of Eden has been
used not to support a lie about Christ, but to cover up the very truth of the matter.
Q. Emporer Ji... Jing...?
A. "Within Emperor Jiajing'[s] sin and Quetzcoaltz's hunger lies the Answers." Emporer
Jiajing was the Emperor of China from 1521 to 1567, and the 11th emperor of the Ming
dynasty. He was not a kind emperor, and an internal plot to assassinate him was planned
although ultimately failed (note: a possible 'level' in a future Assassin's Creed). He
built the Temple of the Sun (notice a theme about the Sun in the paintings around the two
rooms) and collected rare materials from around the world. One of these rare materials is
almost certainly an artefact.
Quetzcoaltz isn't familiar, but is a likely misspelling of Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec sky and
creator God and another reference to the Sun. Although primarily an Aztec deity the
Mesoamerican influences are strong, and the Mayans had their own version: KukulkÃ¡n. His
'hunger' refers to the ritual animal sacrifices that were made to appease him, and an
artefact is probably lying within one of his temples.
Yonaguni
Q. What is the significance of the door code?
A. It's the date of the Philadelphia Experiment.
Q. Can you please explain the email on the final computer?
A. Sure thing. We'll look at it piece by piece:
Email: "The others and I have finished reviewing the Animus recordings from Subjects
12-16. While the Piece of Eden remains our priority, we must continue working to locate
and understand the remaining artefacts. I am sure you can understand our reasoning behind
this. Although satellite is accomplished to a fair portion of the work for us, we will
certainly need to deal with those who are either immune to - or protected from - its
effects.
Explanation: There are multiple artefacts that Abstergo want to possess in order to
control the world, and they all have different powers. Once the satellite is in orbit most
of Earth's population will be under their control, but some people will be immune to its
effects. They need to secure other artefacts to help deal with these people, otherwise
their plans will be exposed and Abstergo will be under attack from rebels.
Email: "Piece of Eden (no. 3) - We applaud your continued efforts to locate an alternate
artefact with the loss of no. 2 in the DIA Satellite Accident. We understand Subject
Seventeen is having trouble interfacing with the Animus, leading to delays. As a result,
we estimate another 24 hours before your next critical update. In the meantime, we'll
prepare an extraction team and set them to standby. We're relying on you to obtain the
additional information we require. He knows where the other objects are - even if he
doesn't realize it. You MUST unlock that final memory or all of this will have been for
nothing."
Explanation: The company is frantically trying to locate another Piece of Eden. They were
about to launch a satellite with the second piece but an accident occurred and 20 people
were killed. Desmond is being used to find another Piece of Eden with which Abstergo can
launch another satellite and control the world.
Date
Email: "Philadelphia Project - Data provided from Animus Subject Twelve indicates that the
ship briefly manifested in a future state for approximately 18 minutes. It is unclear
whether the timeline is consistent with or parallel to our own. Although we have recovered
enough data to reconstruct and repair the original artefact used in the experiment,
Administration has refused to move forward on the project, citing paradox concerns.
Corporate policy remains in place: any objects found to interfere with or manipulate time
must be contained. Artefact will be moved to secure storage."
Explanation: According to an email in Lucy's inbox the door code is 10281943 - the date of
the alleged Philadelphia Experiment. It is rumoured that on 10 October 1943 the US
destroyer escort USS Eldridge was subject to a top-secret experiment and became
temporarily invisible. It has been suggested that it also underwent both teleportation and
time travel, and that its crew never recovered. Many went mad, and some were even fused to
the ship's bulkhead. This email confirms that the experiment took place and that the
Templars were behind it.
Abstergo have the ability to manipulate time and space with the artefact, but dare not try
in case of triggering paradoxical events. It's possible that Desmond will use such an
artefact to stop Abstergo before they even begin their operation.
Email: "Tunguska Incident - Now believed to be the direct result of assault by Assassins.
Research station destroyed as was artefact. Alternate wave generation devices have been
located in storage, but we have insufficient data at the moment to initiate research. The
risk of accident is too high.
Lineage Discovery and Acquisition Division should attempt to locate descendents of any
attack survivors (either Assassin or Brotherhood) in order to continue research.
Resurrecting this particular type of technology will aid us greatly with any holdouts
following the Satellite's activation. We're putting together a team to push research in
this area."
Hills
Explanation: On 30 June 1908 a massive explosion rocked the world. The incident, near the
Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Tunguska (now Krasnoyarsk Krai of Russia) is believed to
have occurred when a meteorite burst above the Earth's surface, flattening trees and
causing widespread destruction. The email states that it was caused by a group of
Assassins destroying a Templar base and the artefact at that location. Abstergo obviously
believe that there is a great need for alternate wave generation artefacts to help deal
with (ie destroy) resistance following the satellite's launch. Think of this as a powerful
weapon, such as a neutron bomb that can be harnessed and aimed at certain targets.
Email: "Grail - We are removing the Grail from our list of objectives. There is
insufficient evidence to confirm its existence. Current examination of Subject Seventeen
indicates that aside from the Piece of Eden, all other artefacts related to Christ-figure
are literary devices (or derived from Piece of Eden) and not actual objects. Even if the
object is real, its use to us at this stage is negligible. Our resources are better used
elsewhere."
Explanation: In what's likely to be Abstergo's biggest mistake they decide to stop
searching for the Holy Grail. Why is this a mistake? It's likely that this artefact does
exist, and that Desmond and the Assassins will track it down and use it against Abstergo
in the future. It's possible that Subject Sixteen knew the location and provided clues for
Desmond to follow - knowing that Abstergo wouldn't look for its locations while they were
so focused on the Piece of Eden. If this is true then Abstergo have underestimated the
Grail's significance - 16 obviously believed it was a key artefact in the battle against
Abstergo.
Japanese buildings
Email: "Mitchell-Hedges Communicators - Analysis of the objects is complete. The good news
is that they work. As a result we now have a safe and secure communication channel for use
after the launch. However, they are severely limited in number, and so we will be
providing them only to our most essential facilities. You will obviously retain possession
of the one you have."
Explanation: The Mitchell-Hedges communicators are possibly the most interesting items
mentioned. Found in a ruined Mayan temple in Belize at around 1926 the 'communicators' are
ancient crystal skulls, and there are believed to be only 13 skulls worldwide. The origin
of these skulls is unknown, but they are rumoured to bestow the holder with scrying powers
- ie the ability to communicate psychically. Abstergo have located these skulls, and it
will allow their top facilities to communicate with one another without fear of the
Assassins listening in. The mythology of these skulls is interesting: some claim it
originated from Atlantis (remember Yonaguni?) at that the Knights Templar carried one
about during the crusades. If so, it's likely that it was passed down through the Templars
and is now the one in Vidic's possession. That does, however, leave the Mayan relevance in
some doubt...
Email: "Warren, I cannot stress how important it is that you wrap things up with Subject
Seventeen as soon as possible. We're obviously relieved that you seem to be closing in on
the target memory, but you need to step it up. Everything we're working towards depends on
your retrieving these locations. Without them, we've got nothing. May the Father of
Understanding guide you to success."
Explanation: The target memory in question is the final boss fight, and the revelation of
multiple artefact locations. Obviously they're keen to get the information as quickly as
possible so that Abstergo's retrieval teams can locate the artefacts.
Pentagram
Q. What are these Pieces of Eden?
A. It's unclear, but they could be the mythical golden apples. Apples are mentioned
numerous times, and there are apples drawn in blood at the end. In Greek mythology there
existed three Golden Apples, and it could be that this belief has been linked with
Biblical aspects, and the Pieces of Eden and Golden Apples are the very same thing - the
'forbidden fruit' in the Garden of Eden.
Q. Explain the Achievements please!
A. There are two. After using Eagle Vision in the bedroom you'll unlock 'Visions of the
Future', which is self-explanatory: clues for the next games. The Eagle and the Apple
-1191 Achievement isn't as obvious. The Eagle is Altair - the parallels between the
protagonist and the bird are too numerous for that not to be the case. His hood mimics an
eagle's beak, his leap of faith move is accompanied by an eagle's cry and even the name
Altair means 'The Flying'. 1191 is the year in which Assassin's Creed is set, which
strongly suggests that the other games will take place in different times. The Apple? That
would be the Piece of Eden that Altair viewed at the end of his adventure - the third
Golden Apple.
Q. What's the other writing?
A. There's Arabic, Hebrew and Chinese writing on the mural too. We're trying to get it
deciphered, but if you have any insight as to what it may say, or any ideas about the
other pictures, then get in touch with us at xbw@futurenet.co.uk. And if you're still
confused about any of the other marking leave your questions and we'll do our best to
answer them for you. Happy hunting!
